Also https://youtu.be/_rbzlMeGToI?t=83 https://youtu.be/_rbzlMeGToI?t=83 the "Cossack" referred in other tapes as a unit commander to whom the battery belonged pretty much says "and so? fuck them, we'll say they are spies, it's war" It's surprising to see it being 7 years since, and there are still people from the West still dead convinced in finding "alternative facts." There is one, and only ground truth. A battery had an order to "shoot everything that flies," and that's what they did within hours of the order.

What? Look at the transcript again, they're wondering why it's a civilian plane and not an An-26, and thinking of a way to deal with that...

  He is not looking for a way to "deal with it," he very well knows what's going on, and aware of the order, and tell the caller to fuck off. There is no "alternative facts" there. An order to shoot everything that flies, and they did it. There are hours, and hours of Ukrainian intercepts, probably listened by every Western intelligence agency 100 times over. If that doesn't seal the deal, it's for people who fully willingly choosing to believe in a lie for sake of playing a cause celebre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot#:~:text=In%20political%20jargon%2C%20a%20useful,used%20by%20the%20cause's%20leaders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot#:~:text=In%20poli.... Ukrainians blew their extremely valuable intercept source to bring this to attention of the world. Now, seven year later, EU keeps soiling their pants, and still can't gather enough courage to point a finger on Russia. They are trying their hardest to pretend that they don't know what's going on. Even if the shutdown was genuinely inadvertent, it would still be a cause for an immediate retaliation to any normal country.

I don't think that EU doesn't keep its finger pointed to Russia. Russia is heavily sanctioned already, what do you expect EU to do, invade them ?
